From where does it leak, exactly? Tom
Tighten the packing nut under the handle.
Leaks from the handle
Or replace the packing.
As others have said, the packing nut needs to be tightened, repacked, or replaced.
Here is a site with a few pictures:
Leaks with water turned on, or turned off? with hose atached, or no hose?
That link was most helpful, thanks!
